Chapter 173 Entering the Royal Treasury (8000)
Xu Bai was quite happy at first, after all, it was his first time to go to the capital, and this was the time when he traveled all the way here. He has gone through various hardships and dangers along the way, and it can be regarded as a successful completion of the journey.
Everyone said that the capital is a good place. Before entering the capital, Xu Bai took a look at the city gate and felt that this sentence was correct. The gate of the capital alone cannot be compared with other cities.
He was very happy at first, but at this moment, someone jumped out and disturbed his mood.
He thought that someone would come to challenge him, and he also thought that this person must be in the capital, and it was not the only one.
After all, his reputation is really big now. There is a saying that is good, a tree attracts the wind, and the gun shoots the bird, and he is in this situation now.
But it’s okay to challenge him. After all, the story of him beheading thousands of people may not have been reported before. These people don’t know, so the challenge is also normal.
But if you want to challenge, challenge it. Why mention that title?
In Xu Bai's heart, the title of "Blood Slaughter Swordsman" was almost to the point of explosion. Now that someone came up to step on the thunder, Xu Bai's good mood disappeared in an instant.
If he was not in such a good mood, and if one or two annoying flies jumped out, Xu Bai might just wave his hand and let it go.
But in a good mood, a fly jumps out, like drinking a bowl of delicious soup, only to find a fly in the soup after drinking it, no one can bear the mood.
"What's your name?" Xu Bai narrowed his eyes, unable to see what kind of emotion was in his heart.
"Under Liu..."
"Snapped!"
The person who jumped out claimed to be some kind of Yin Yang technique, and before he could finish speaking, he flew out backwards.
There was only a bang, and this person flew into the sky, and his trajectory disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Xu Bai withdrew his hand, turned his head and looked around.
Because of what he did just now, there are already a group of people watching here, and these people have curious eyes.
They are not afraid. After all, these things have long been commonplace. In a place like the capital, there are no fights.
So they have long been used to seeing it, but what they didn't expect was that this person started fighting right next to the tower.
There is still the army of the Great Chu Kingdom guarding the gate of the city. I remember that not long ago, someone had a fight here and was taken away not long after. So the people guessed that this young man was probably the same.
Of course Xu Bai understood what the people were thinking. He turned his head, followed the eyes of the people, looked at the soldiers guarding the city, and raised his eyebrows.
The soldiers looked at each other in blank dismay. They originally wanted to make a move. In fact, even if they did not have strong abilities, in the Great Chu Kingdom, if you resist, you will really make a big mistake.
But they also heard that the person who was beaten up before seemed to say something like a blood butcher.
Blood butcher swordsman, Xu Bai.
The soldiers looked at their noses, noses, noses, and hearts, pretending not to see it.
If you say that the circle in this capital city is very large and small, Xu Bai's reputation has already spread, and they dare not take care of it.
Don't be joking, this is a celebrity in front of the emperor now, if we go up and take him down, we might be punished tomorrow.
Besides, that person provoked first and deserved to be beaten.
When the common people saw this scene, they took a deep breath.
They secretly thought in their hearts, this person is definitely not a small person, maybe he is the son of a famous family.
Xu Bai saw that the group of soldiers did not make things difficult for him, so he turned around disinterestedly and prepared to leave.
Suddenly, he felt a gaze, looking at him, and following the gaze, he saw several figures walking in.
"My lord!" Ye Zi threw himself into Xu Bai's arms and shouted joyfully.
Xu Bai patted Ye Zi's shoulder lightly to show comfort, but his eyes followed Ye Zi's back to look at another figure.
"Long time no see, Liu Xu."
In his words, there was a hint of nostalgia, recalling the past in Sheng County.
During that time, Liu Xu accompanied him in disguise, and even killed people together.
Liu Xu is still wearing a veil, unable to see his expression, but the emotion in his eyes, which is like autumn water, is vividly expressed.
She, Xu Bai, and Wu Hua, the three of them lived in Sheng County, and they have experienced life and death, so meeting again is very kind.
But Liu Xu knew that now was not the time to reminisce about the old days, so she pointed behind her and said, "The trouble is not over yet."
As she spoke, she moved lightly, walked to Xu Bai's side, turned around and looked at the two people behind her, it was obvious that she was on Xu Bai's side.
Xu Bai followed the catkins past, looked at the two people behind, and couldn't help being amused: "Brother Qin, why did you come to the capital if you don't go fishing? Also, who is the expressionless person next to you?"
The first half of the sentence is a joke, but the second half of the sentence has a hint of meaning. Xu Bai's sense is very sensitive, and he can feel that there is a fighting spirit in the man next to Qin Feng.
Looking at the man's waist, he found that the man was holding a long knife in his hand. He didn't draw it out, but he could feel that this knife was by no means ordinary.
Qin Feng smiled wryly and said: "Brother Xu, why bother to mock me, I just came here to be a witness, both sides are friends, I don't want to offend, this is Lin Ming, a genius disciple of the Didao Pavilion, he wants to challenge Brother Xu."
He and Xu Bai are considered close friends, but because of Chu Yu, they got close together, so this is a relatively unfamiliar familiarity.
Xu Bai rubbed his chin and said, "The one who uses a knife is dumb? You need brother Qin to speak."
Qin Feng turned his head to look at his friend, feeling very puzzled in his heart.
Although this friend of his usually has an expressionless face and is expressionless when speaking and doing things, he is definitely not dumb. On the contrary, Lin Ming is very assertive and usually talks a lot.
But for some reason, he didn't say a word now, which made Qin Feng very suspicious.
As if feeling Qin Feng's gaze, Lin Ming raised his hands and said without turning his head.
"Under Lin Ming, I lost."
After finishing speaking, Lin Ming didn't wait for Xu Bai to speak, and turned around and left without any wordiness.
Qin Feng was stunned, and he didn't realize it until Lin Ming had walked a long way. He hastily turned his head and said to Xu Bai: "Actually, today's affairs are bothersome. If I have time, I will definitely come to accompany you. I will go first gone."
Before Xu Bai agreed, Qin Feng hurriedly followed the figure behind him.
"Interesting." Xu Bai looked at Lin Ming's back and said, "He comprehended the sword intent at a young age, it seems that he is indeed a genius."
"My lord, why didn't he fight you?" Ye Zi asked strangely.
Xu Bai smiled and said: "He has comprehended the meaning of the sword, and also understands the subtleties of using the sword. Just now I shot that person flying, so I knew he was not my opponent, so I didn't want to make a fool of myself."
"Then he is afraid of the young master." Ye Zi smiled and tugged on Xu Bai's sleeve, and said.
Xu Bai shook his head: "It's not that I'm afraid, it's just that I recognize my own form. A person who can comprehend the sword intent is not only a genius, but also a competitive person. He won't easily be afraid of anyone."
Ye Zi nodded half understanding.
Liu Xu thought for a while, and was about to speak, but what she didn't expect was that someone interrupted her just halfway through her sentence.
A voice came from afar, it just came out, and it was still at the far end, but when the voice fell, a figure was already standing in front of Xu Bai.
"Master Xu is a master of swordsmanship. It is an honor for Lin Ming to receive such praise from Master Xu. It must be his honor."
"Meet Eunuch Wei." Xu Bai arched his hands and said to the gray-haired Eunuch Wei.
Eunuch Wei's face is full of wrinkles, and with his gray hair, he looks like a kind old man. He couldn't help smiling when he saw Xu Bai bowing his hands in salute.
"Arrogant but not impatient, he can still show junior salutes to us old guys. Our family really can't imagine that a gentle and elegant person like Mr. Xu would fight thousands of people alone and kill a **** path."
"Hiss..."
The onlookers all took a breath.
Fight alone with thousands of people.
also killed a **** road.
The people really turned into melon-eating people this time. They feel that today’s melons are very full. The father-in-law in front of him is so high that he can praise a young man.
And this young man has such deeds.
This melon is very sweet.
Xu Bai could feel the admiration in Eunuch Wei's eyes, and said with a smile: "When a person has not reached the peak, he must keep a low profile. Otherwise, he probably won't know when his head will disappear."
Just now, he could feel that Eunuch Wei's strength was unfathomable. Even if he reached this point, when he looked over, he felt that he saw a bottomless sea.
This Eunuch Wei is definitely not just in the Transmortal Realm, maybe even higher.
Thinking about this, Xu Bai looked at Eunuch Wei's sleeve, and he saw a trace of blood on the sleeve.
"Good!" Eunuch Wei gave a compliment, sensed Xu Bai's gaze, and said with a smile: "Just now, I beat a thief away in the capital."
Xu Bai was taken aback for a moment, not knowing what it meant.
"Liu Qingfeng, you're just an idiot." Eunuch Wei waved his hand indifferently, and said, "I don't know who injured me, but I stabbed him headfirst into the imperial palace in the capital. After I found out, I hit him in the chest." With one palm, he spat out a mouthful of blood and ran away, the blood is his."
The corners of Xu Bai's mouth twitched slightly, and he thought to himself, as expected of a member of the older generation.
Liu Qingfeng is the man in white who created the indestructible body.
Unexpectedly, he was seriously injured by Eunuch Wei in an instant, and it seems that he can't recover from this meaning.
Eunuch Wei has been with the emperor all year round, and he is also a fine person. From Xu Bai's eyes, it can be seen that Xu Bai seems to know him, and he couldn't help but said in surprise.
"Master Xu, is it possible that you still know him, and you must not have any contact with this person. This person is a lunatic."
When he said this, Eunuch Wei approached and his voice became quieter. After all, these secrets cannot be heard by the common people.
"I've met him a few times, and he has a strong recovery ability." Xu Bai heard that Eunuch Wei and the others didn't know about himself and Liu Qingfeng, so he just said something casually.
Eunuch Wei nodded: "It is indeed very strong, and there is no way to restrain it except the soul. This time I just beat him to the point of death with one palm. He didn't go crazy and ran away by instinct."
Xu Bai had black lines all over his head, and said, "Eunuch Wei, I think you have something to do with me this time, right?"
He felt that he couldn't continue talking about this matter. The master in front of him was as smart as a monkey, and he would definitely lose if he talked too much.
Eunuch Wei suddenly realized: "As you get older, your brain is not working well. The emperor specially asked me to come here to welcome you. Master Xu, follow me into the palace."
Being told by an **** to go to the palace, Xu Bai always felt uncomfortable, as if he had to go through the procedure if he wanted to enter the palace. Of course, he knew it was just his imagination.
"Thank you, Eunuch Wei, for leading the way." Xu Bai thanked, "I want to take Ye Zi with me, can I?"
Eunuch Wei nodded and said: "Yes, His Majesty has not stipulated the number of people, of course."
Xu Bai looked at Liu Xu again, and was about to call Liu Xu in.
Being able to meet the emperor and get acquainted with each other is also very easy for Liu Xu's future path.
Liu Xu was stunned for a moment, then understood instantly, and hurriedly said: "Xu Bai, I won't go, I just came to convey a word for the academy, if you have time, you can go to the academy for a walk."
Xu Bai frowned: "Just to spread this word, are you going to leave soon?"
Liu Xu hummed: "Jian Tiansi is very busy, and I can't stay for long. If you don't come again, I can only ask Miss Ye Zi to convey this sentence for me."
"Okay." Xu Bai sighed: "I wanted to visit Chunyu Pavilion with you, after all, I have visited before, it's a pity..."
Liu Xu was covered with a veil, so she couldn't see her expression, but she felt Wei Gonggong's eyes, her forehead and ears turned red instantly, and she said angrily: "It's been so long since I haven't seen you, but I've already said what I said. ,gone."
Saying that, Liu Xu nodded and left.
But only halfway through, she turned around again, took out a slightly warm book from her arms, and handed it to Xu Bai.
"Xu Bai, you must remember what I say next." Liu Xu's eyes were extremely serious: "The world is very chaotic. I brought this book of disguise method from the academy. It is more advanced than mine. You must You have to learn, after all, having an extra identity can protect you many things."
Before, Xu Bai asked her for it, but now it is really handed over to Xu Bai.
But this one is more subtle.
Xu Bai looked at the progress bar on the book, patted Liu Xu on the shoulder, and said, "Come to me if you have any difficulties."
Liu Xu nodded, finally gritted her teeth, and left.
After Liu Xu walked away, Eunuch Wei let out a long sigh.
"I think back then, our family was also the No. 1 romantic figure in the Jianghu. I didn't expect things to be different."
"Master Xu is young and talented, and there are indeed many confidante, but remember not to be greedy, so as not to miss your practice."
"Our family's previous strength can only be regarded as an upper-middle class, but since the loss of that thing, it has soared all the way. That thing is indeed a bumpy road that hinders men from climbing up..."
"Master Xu, you have to restrain yourself..."
Xu Bai rubbed his forehead with his hand, not wanting to say more on it, so he changed the subject and said, "Eunuch Wei, let's lead the way."
Eunuch Wei realized that what he said was wrong, so he stopped talking and led the way ahead.
Next, with Eunuch Wei leading the way, the road was naturally unimpeded. Soon, Xu Bai came to the resplendent imperial city.
Standing at the gate of the imperial city, Xu Bai raised his head to look at it, and couldn't help but praise the majesty in his heart.
There were a few armored soldiers guarding the door. When they saw Eunuch Wei, these soldiers didn't stop them at all, and let them go quickly.
Passing through the majestic city gate, along the way, Xu Bai realized what the real nine bends and eighteen bends are.
All kinds of alleys are uneven and criss-crossed. Eunuch Wei introduced to Xu Bai while walking, what kind of palace is here, and what kind of palace is there. Xu Bai listened and responded from time to time.
Xu Bai didn't believe that the patrols in the imperial city were so loose. He guessed that there must be secret personnel lurking, after all, this is where the emperor lives.
Of course, Eunuch Wei didn’t mention this kind of secret, and Xu Bai didn’t even ask, as long as he knew it in his heart.
The two walked for about an hour, and finally came to a very majestic hall.
"This is His Majesty's imperial study. Here, His Majesty is specially used to meet those close officials." Eunuch Wei pushed open the door and made a gesture of invitation.
Xu Bai cupped his fists and walked in. Eunuch Wei closed the door from the outside, obviously he didn't want to go in.
Ye Zi also followed behind Xu Bai, her face was full of curiosity, this was her first time in the imperial city.
Let alone coming in as her, just wandering around the gate of the city, she might be arrested.
Xu Bai walked in, and as soon as he entered the room, he saw a figure in imperial robes, sitting on a chair, bowing his head and correcting the memorial.
The man in the yellow robe looks handsome and looks strong. Even with his head down, his waist is still straight, showing an inexplicable nobility.
It seemed that he noticed Xu Bai coming in, but Chu Huang didn't look up, and said while correcting the memorial.
"Xu Aiqing, find a place to sit first. I won't be free until I finish approving these memorials. Alas, disasters have occurred frequently in many places recently..."
Xu Bai bent down and saluted: "Yes, Your Majesty."
In the Great Chu Kingdom, the etiquette between the monarch and his ministers did not include the etiquette of kneeling.
If kneeling is a must, unless the courtier made a mistake.
At that time, the etiquette of kneeling was indeed very popular in the Dafeng Kingdom, but until it was overthrown by the Dachu Kingdom, the etiquette was also overthrown.
To use the emperor's words, concise and to the point - I just came out of extreme suffering, in order to save the people from suffering, why use the etiquette of the old age?
Xu Bai found a seat and sat down, waiting patiently.
Ye Zi didn't dare to sit down, her identity was different, she just stood beside Xu Bai.
Xu Bai waited while looking at Emperor Chu in front of him.
This is the real one above ten thousand people. What I didn't expect was that I would use this kind of scene to meet.
Emperor Chu was very serious when correcting the memorial, obviously not to snub Xu Bai on purpose, but really wanted to correct the memorial.
While correcting, his brows were still furrowed, and the things on the memorial made him feel worried.
About half an hour later, when the last paper was corrected by Chu Huang, Chu Huang put down the pen in his hand, beat his waist, and turned his gaze to Xu Bai.
This gaze is very calm, without the taste of domineering, and there is no barrier between monarch and minister, but a look of looking at outstanding juniors.
The nobility in the eyes is naturally cultivated by the emperor, and there is no way to cover it up, other than that, it is a harmonious one.
"Xu Aiqing, the fourth-grade book in the imperial treasure house has been opened for you. You can read it anytime within a month."
The tone is indifferent, without pretensions.
But this kind of tone makes people unable to guess what the Emperor Chu is thinking.
Xu Bai raised his eyebrows, stood up and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I have survived this journey. After going through a thousand hardships, I was finally blessed by God to see Your Majesty."
He didn't directly explain his intention to increase the money, but he said how hard he had been on the road, and the meaning was very obvious. It depends on whether His Majesty the Emperor understands.
Emperor Chu was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed out loud, leaning back and forth.
After laughing for a long time, the laughter gradually stopped.
"Interesting, really interesting, those of my courtiers, after seeing me one by one, were scared to death, but you are different, and you still want to benefit from corners."
Xu Bai said with a smile: "I didn't make a mistake, and I even made merit. There is no need for me to be afraid."
Chu Huang stopped smiling, and after a while, he took out a booklet, handed it to Xu Bai, and said, "Look at the people who attacked you along the way, and the background behind them, I have already checked out, including In your last battle, you fought thousands of people alone, and I even found someone to check it out, and it took too much effort."
Xu Bai received it in his hand, and after a rough glance, he closed the folder in front of him.
"How do you feel?" Chu Huang asked.
Xu Bai remained silent.
Chuhuang continued: "You can tell it all, I won't blame you, after all, what I need is someone who tells the truth."
Xu Bai still didn't say anything.
Chu Huang looked disappointed.
He suddenly felt very boring.
Xu Bai is a genius in his heart, a real genius, a genius who can overturn the world, but what he needs is someone who tells the truth.
If this so-called genius does not tell the truth, but follows the trend step by step, then the talent and intelligence, even the dragon among men, will not be able to fit that state of mind after all.
At this time, the disappointment in Emperor Chu's eyes was extremely intense, and could even be seen with the naked eye.
Xu Bai's sudden words made Emperor Chu stunned on the spot.
"Your Majesty, it's not that you don't dare to say it, but that this is not within the purview of a humble official..."
...
Emperor Chu quickly realized, of course he knew what Xu Bai meant, after all, if he was in his position, if he didn't even know these things, the position would be in vain.
"The one-month reading rights for the fourth-rank books in the royal treasure house may be a bit stretched for you, a master of the first rank, but you will definitely benefit."
There is mystery in the words.
Xu Bai said bluntly: "Your Majesty, please explain directly."
The corner of Chu Huang's mouth twitched.
This guy...is really too funny.
What I said just now was a bit hazy and mysterious, but I have already explained it clearly. The benefits in it are definitely more than four grades, but this guy just wants to explain it clearly, otherwise, he has no idea.
"I put a lot of first-grade books in it." Emperor Chu said slowly.
As for the meaning, he didn't say it directly, but he believed that Xu Bai could see it.
Some rewards should not be given too much, as giving too much will easily make some people jealous.
Those admonishers are very annoying.
But the rewards have to be given. Along the way, the Chu Emperor also saw it, so it is the same to secretly give it.
Xu Bai heard the words, the previous silence was gone, and he said with a righteous face: "Your Majesty, I have something to say about the question just now."
The corners of Chu Huang's mouth twitched even more violently.
I didn’t want to say it just now, but now I’m willing to say it. The co-authorship is because there is not enough money, right?
"Say!" Chu Huang waved his sleeves.
Xu Bai took a deep breath, and said: "In my opinion, after His Majesty's current management, the Great Chu Kingdom is in the ascendant and has already been flourishing, but in the notebook that Your Majesty showed me just now, there is a major problem exposed. "
"Behind those people, they have already been deeply rooted in the important position of the Great Chu State, so the Great Chu State has infinite scenery on the surface, but it is a river embankment with only an appearance, but it is full of holes inside, a **** of thousands of miles, broken by ants. hole."
After finishing speaking, Xu Bai stopped talking, he had already said everything he thought.
Emperor Chu fell silent.
This silence is an affirmation of Xu Bai.
After a moment of silence, Emperor Chu said: "Xu Aiqing, I plan to fill all these holes in a month, do you think it's worth it?"
Xu Bai nodded, and said: "Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. In this extraordinary period, when you cut through mahjong with a sharp knife, all these cancerous tumors will be eradicated, and the Great Chu Kingdom will be clear."
"Okay!" Chu Huang said: "You and I want to go together, one month is enough."
As he spoke, Emperor Chu shouted to the outside.
Eunuch Wei pushed open the door, walked in respectfully, and bowed his head in silence.
The brochure that was shown to Xu Bai at the beginning was handed to Eunuch Wei by the Emperor Chu, and said: "Eunuch Wei, one month, not one will be kept."
Eunuch Wei took it over, with a serious tone in his tone: "The dark clothes guards are just to smooth over these things. Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will give them a good reason to die."
After finishing speaking, Eunuch Wei turned and left.
After Eunuch Wei left, Emperor Chu turned his head to look at Xu Bai.
"Aiqing, I can just stay there this month and read more books. After a month, I will have something real to talk to you about. After all... getting rid of those cancers is not an easy task, and I can't be distracted."
"You can stay in the palace during this time, don't worry, nothing will happen to you in the palace."
Xu Bai didn't intend to veto the emperor's idea. Since there are benefits, he can continue to move the progress bar here with peace of mind.
"Come here." Chu Huang said: "Take Xu Aiqing to his residence, and introduce him to the location of the royal treasure house by the way."
The door was pushed open, and a man in black came in, nodding respectfully.
"Master Xu, please follow me."
Xu Bai didn't say much, and just followed behind.
But before leaving, he also said something, telling the emperor that many families helped him during his journey.
Emperor Chu naturally agreed, saying that he would never treat these families badly.
After Xu Bai left, Eunuch Wei walked in suddenly.
"Your Majesty, he is gone?"
"Let's go." Chu Huang sat back on his seat and rubbed his forehead: "Is the order going?"
Eunuch Wei agreed: "I have given the order, and I have also figured out one thing. The prince seems to have sent someone over to find out what kind of reward His Majesty gave to Master Xu."
"I knew this younger brother would never be reconciled." Emperor Chu said helplessly: "Eunuch Wei, let the people under his command guard their mouths, and absolutely don't let him reveal any news."
"Yes!" Eunuch Wei nodded before really leaving.
Chuhuang came to the door, looked at the scenery outside the window, and didn't know what he was thinking.
…
Xu Bai was led along the way by the man in black and soon led to an extremely luxurious house.
"This is your room." The man in black said, "Master Xu, are you going to the royal treasure house now?"
Xu Bai hummed, and said, "Are you the Dark Clothes Guard?"
He heard the name mentioned by the emperor just now, and saw that this person was dressed in black, so he had a guess.
The man in black admitted: "Yes, we play some secret roles on behalf of His Majesty, and we can be regarded as a different kind of superintendent."
"You...forget it." Xu Bai wanted to say a few more words at first, but when he thought of the royal treasure house, he didn't want to waste time: "Hurry up and take me there, the food during this time may have to be delivered."
"Yes." Dark Yiwei said respectfully.
Next, under the leadership of the dark clothes guard, Xu Bai came to the royal treasure house.
The Royal Treasure House is a huge pagoda-shaped building. It is divided into thirteen floors, from the bottom to the top, representing the treasures from the ninth rank to the holy realm.
Including various materials, weapons, pills, and books.
The number of each level is not much, but those who can enter this level are all top grades in the current level.
At the bottom floor, there is an old woman, dressed in ordinary clothes, who is guarding there.
After seeing Xu Bai and Ye Zi, the old woman continued to sleep on the rocking chair.
"Master Xu, I won't go." The dark-clothed guard said: "The daily meals will be delivered to the bottom floor, and when the time comes, Master Xu will just come down and get them."
He didn't have the emperor's order, so he didn't dare to go in at all.
Xu Bai nodded, and led Ye Zi up the stairs.
The old woman guarding the bottom didn't care about Xu Bai, and continued to sleep, probably because she knew Xu Bai's identity, so she didn't stop her.
Xu Bai could feel that this old woman had a powerful aura similar to that of Eunuch Wei.
That's right, it's an extremely powerful aura. Xu Bai guessed that this old woman should be responsible for guarding the royal treasure house.
Being able to guard this place is definitely beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Xu Bai secretly compared the old woman with Eunuch Wei, and found that the two were no different, and felt similar to him.
But he didn't say much. He didn't stop the old woman when he saw her, and he didn't disturb her either.
For an elderly master like this, it is better not to have too much communication before he is not familiar with the other party's personality.
But sometimes, things just go in the opposite direction.
Xu Bai took Ye Zi and was about to step forward.
Unexpectedly, the old woman suddenly said: "The dark clothes guard is gone, little friend, are you interested in chatting with me?"
I have a terrible headache. I don’t know if I hit it. I will do a nucleic acid test another day. This chapter was written last night with a headache. It’s uncomfortable.
(end of this chapter)
